Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The position is based in the Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at NIT Silchar under the IERP-NIHE sponsored research project on developing portable biodegradable nano-sensing electrodes for heavy metal detection in water across North-Eastern India. The work involves laboratory synthesis, nano-electrode fabrication, electronic circuit testing, and field sampling across local water bodies under the supervision of Dr. Anup Kumar Sharma.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The post is purely temporary and on a contractual basis for 12 months or until the completion of the project, whichever is earlier. Selected candidates must sign an agreement at the time of joining. The duty station is on-campus at NIT Silchar, Cachar, Assam.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As an externally funded, project-specific temporary appointment, there is no permanent absorption or institutional promotion into the regular establishment of NIT Silchar. However, the experimental research experience in nanotechnology and water sensing provides a strong stepping stone for higher studies (B.Tech lateral entry, M.Tech, or Ph.D.) and scientific laboratory roles.
